A medium, eye-level indoor photograph of Tampa drum and bass artist Thee Joker performing on stage. They are seen in profile, looking down with intense focus at their DJ mixer. They are wearing a black baseball cap, a black t-shirt with the word 'Foundatin.DB' printed in orange across the chest, and have intricate tattoos visible on their right forearm. A pair of professional over-ear DJ headphones rests around their neck. The entire scene is bathed in deep, intense magenta stage lighting, highlighting the artist against a brick-wall background. To the right, another individual is partially visible, also caught in the same saturated pink light.

There are just over 60 days until the end of Crowbar, and everyone’s getting their last hurrahs in.

The crew from A Night of Drum & Bass is in this weekend to celebrate underground electronic music with special guests—Jay Marley, Kean, and PopeJohn—along with ANODNB staples like Thee Joker.

“Blending nostalgia, underground culture, and the energy that helped define Crowbar for years, the event serves as both celebration and farewell for one of Tampa’s most important independent music spaces,” organizers wrote on social media.

Cover for ANODNB: Massive 3 at Crowbar in Ybor City on Sunday, May 31 is $5 at the door.
